Mr. Lewis—who acted as chairman in the absence of Mr. Glover, who was engage on the Committee on Military Aifairs—said he did not, nor never did believe, that the Reai Estate Poo! Committee had any Jurisdiction on or authority to luquire into Mr. Ordway’s accounts; but inasmuch as some evidence had been taken reflecting upon Mr. Ordway, he would be willing to have Mr. Ordway, in justice to himself, pat in a statement io go wlong with the evidence. Beyond that ne would not consent to go—noteven tuto a cross examination. Mr. Ordway first put in evidence the res: luuons giving him authority to proceat the different committees and expend funds. He next submitted numbers of set- Uements from the office of the elerk of the House, showing that all the funds entrusted to his care had been satisfactorily accoanted for. Mr. O. stated that he did not accompany the committees, but sentdeputies with tnem, who disbursed the amounts under the direc: Uon of the ditferent committees which tiuey accompanied, and none of the accounts were paid until approved by the chairmen of the committees. He next produced the original memoran- dum book kept by Captain Blackford. who Weatwith @committee and expendel the money, showing every item for waich money was paid. He also produce! the original account made up by nis clerk, of expenditures made for the committee before they left Washington. There were amounts under the same head upon both papers, which put ether mede up @ total on the voucher put in by Mr. Ordway in his final settlement with the clerk of the House. Captain Blackford and Mr. Bradshaw, the clerk, identified his account and it was put in evidence. By a comparison Mr. Ordway showed that the items had not been raised as was tasti- fied to by Captain Biackford before the c »m- mittee @ couple of weeks ago. There were many items, he said, of expenditures by the Alabama and Louisiana committees, waich he could not fully ascsrtain, as all the payers relating to those committee were in the room of Mr. Buffinton, who was a member of the committee when that gentiemau diel, aad the papers bad never been seen since, Investigating Judge Humphreys. THE TESTIMONY TO-DAY. The special House committee investigat- ing the charges against Jadge D. C. Hum- phreys, of the District bench, examined several witnesses to-day, Frank Haggerty, the proprietor of the bar- room, “THE HOLE IN THE WALL,” opposite the City Hall, testifled that Judge Humphreys frequently sent to his estadiisn- rent during sessions of the court for driaks, which were always furnished. George F. Cook, @ colored man employei at the court, testified that he was oiten sent by Judye Humpureys over to Haggerty’s for Gri.ks for the Judge, and that he always got thern, and gave them to the judge. Chas. McNamee, formeriy oue of the clerks Of the court, testified that Judge Humpureys Kepi @ private bottle in a bookcase in ihe ¢l-rk’s offics, and from it ofien took driaks. Payne, F. Schmidt, K. 8. S. Miller, members of the ve testimony in corroboration of that E& ously given by others, that the opia- jous of the Judge and his charges to the jury were so obscure that it was difficult to ui. derstand what was meant, and which sileof ® case 'be favored. They said that the Jndge delayed justice, as members of the var would bot try cases before hima, but would ask for continuances, so that their cases would go over to the next term, and then be tried by auother judge. The commitiee adjourned subject to the +i of the chairman. Mr. Warren. the cuairman, announced that Jadge Humphreys bad seut the names of thirty persons to be summoned as witnesses for the defence. He said it was ag yet uade- cided when the House would adjourn, but in ¢1se they did so next Monday tue farther in- vestigation of the matter would have to be Postponed until next session. ‘The members of the bar do not like this idea much, and contend that in jastice to them, as also to Judge Hampbreys, taere should be a report this session. The Indian War. OFFICIAL DISPATCH FROM GENERAL SHERIDAN. General Sherman received the following dispatches yesterday evening from General Sherman, dated Chicago, August 3d: “A quartermaster’s train was attacked at Elk. horp, on the fetterman road, west of Fort Laramie. Wagon master was Ktllel and one teamster wounded, and three burned. The train has since arrived jt- terman. Red Cioud’s son and others have reached the Red Cloud agency.

(DEFERRED LETTER.) CAPE May, July, 1876. Considering the location of this place as regards both the open sea and Delawara Bay, Ihave been disappointed as weil as surprised since my cojovrn here to see to what a small extent the ocean is made to contribute toour table supplies. Compared with Jike places on the Potomac and along the Chesapeake and its affiuents, the variety of fish served up at Cape May is insignificaat, and, iudees, almost contemptible. Delicious salt-water oysters we have In plenty, to be sure, taken every morning from therr bidden be is, and redolent of the sea; but not a iobster, a cra, or a clam heve I seen, nor, ja fact, any of the tpfinite variety of the flany and shelly tribos to be seen almost any day in our markets a° home. It is trae, the toothsome Sheephaad figures pretty regularly on our bill ot fare, bat up to this time my eyes have not been giaddenc{ by a sight nor my palate ticxled by @ taste of that excellent fish. So far us my experience and obser vation go, it is Biae fish, and Blae fish . As ifashaned, how ever, of the meager splay made by this : 31 itary representative of the great deap, thay eal! it here interchangably blue: fish, snap mackerel, and sometimes sea-trout. Tuis device apparently widens the range of sea- food, but the disguise doesn’t deceive the palate to any great extent. The trick loses its virtue, if any it has, at the very porch of the ear. And in not providing @ giaater variety of fish for their tables, it seems to me proprietors of sea-side houses generally make a serious mistake. Asarule, guests prefer that sort of diet to what they are accustomet to at home, and it certainly ought to os cheaper than meats brought from a distauce. And, by the way, THE PROBLEM OF FEEDING from six hundred to a thousand people a day a@tasingle house in @ place like this, sita- ated as it is somewhat remote from both the source and centre of supplies, is one not easy tosolve. Tae difficulty js not so much with the meats, which cea be brought here on foot and kept alive until needed, as with the vegetables. A supply and variety of taese sufficiently lary 0 meet auy possible @.ner- geucy must always be at hand; and at the same time they mast be served up fresh aud crisp, With the flavor avd smell of motuer earth still upon them, or they are but a dela sion and asoare. What provision the otxer landlords here have made to this end I Kiow not; but mine host of Congress Hall proves that he “knows how to Keep & hotel” b. turning into @ garden farm @ tract of land Which he owns about two miles distant. On this place he raises all the vegetables of every Kind used in the hotel durlag the saa- son, and he is thus able to meet its exact wants from day to day without waste or using apy stale materiai. As the soil bere is generous, if once put and keptin proper coudition, and as Cape May ilies as near as may be in the me degree of latitude with Wasnington, there is noth. ing remarkable in this, the reader will very likely think. Neitner is there; buat the poiat which 1 wish to make aad wo particularly emphasise in referring to the matter is to show how the productive capacity of the land is kept up. Toisis done alone by utilizing and using as a fertilizer the slops and waste of the hotel. In most cases, these are dumped into the water, or left to fester in the sun and poison the sur rounding atmosphere, Instead of being made a@s here to serve and aid the economies of nature. No other fertilizer than this is used upon the land in question, and yet Mr. Cike boasts that his is tue richest and most pro ductive littie farm in all the Jerseys. I may add that lf one may jadge from the abaud ance, variety aud quailty of its yield, taere appears to be no good reason to doubt his statement. This experience, it seems to me, should vot be lost on wwe people and authorities o° oar populous towns and their outlying terri tory. Lf the waste from @ single ho:ai w so mnch In that direction, wuit wonii +, the Street-sweepings, the slops aad tha erage of our large cities accompltsh in way of euriching the soi! of taeir sarraiii ing couutry? HOTEL*KEEPING A PRECARIOUS PURSUIT Depending as it does so largely both upon the weather and the caprice or fancy of the public, for the time betog, the business 01 hotel Keeping at sammer resorts is an un: r- tain and precarious pursuit at the very b Just now, owing to the late extremely «> weather, and to the fact that this 1s consid-r-d the tims to be out of town, the tide of vis is setting toward Cape May very stroug; vat Jet acool spell come along, or let a aorth- east storm set in, and it will flow oat with such @ deep and swift current as to carry nearly everything with if. Thea the dill clerks and gage porters cannot move nimbly enough to ineet the haste of the de- rting throng. [am told thatas many as two hundred and fifty guests have left Con- gress Hall inasinglé morning, uader such cireumstances; and I have myself seen the hotels of New York fairly packed in one day by the crowds opens | away from Loag Branch and other sea-side resorts near by to escape the discomforts of a protracted noc’- easter. The expense of spending @ season or even part of @ season &@t an ordinarily popular summering place is a matter that has of.en and jastly occupied the attention of Can STAR, as it has that of others interaste! ta the health and comfort of the public. Tue cost of spending evea a few days ai a fa-n lopable resort is se great, indeed, as to not only deter @ great many persous froin !n- dulging in the luxury at all, bat to likewise interfere very seriously with toe pleasure of Ubose who on the score of comfort or health are tempted to venture away from the dast and heat of the city. When one has to think all the while of what one’s enjoyment is ably costing by the hour, the relist of it is materially marred, even to personas com- fortably off. How much keener, then, are the prickings of @ constant reminder lize this lo one who has to count out before hand what every penny shall be made to buy? Whether the constant changes in the patronage of watering place hotels could be Prevented and a steady crowd secured the Whole season through by more moderate cbarges for accommodations is an opea question. Sixty dollars a week for a mole rate sized and inexpensively farnished third- story room, with # single window opening toward the sea, whether occupied by one or two persovs, seems like a pretly extravagant price to those who have to eara the mouey. fe is, indeed, a high figure, and one that com- ‘Lively few persoas c&u a‘Tord to pay any jeugth of time, particularily when to it are aided other unavoidable expenses. Yet laud- Jords contend that nothing less will afford a fair margin of profit.on accountof the ex- tremely sbort season In which anythiag at ali can be made, while in a cool or wet san- mer there is almost sure to be actual loss, Tois may be true. The interest on the large capital invested In the real ‘soaal property,—in the case of Congress Hall it is estimated at over 5550,000,—the cest of insur. ance and repairs, to say nothing of rar atug expenses every year, must consume a large ion ef each summer's earnings.

Not ouly this, butl am as- sured he is abundantly satisfied with the financial results thus far,as well as with the prospects for the future. Whether or not other Jandiords will profit by his gratifytag experience remains to be seen. I hop? how- ever,—not less, it is true, in the interest of the general public than that of the noble army of bonifaces,—that he may find pleaty of foliowers. Unless he does, I fear that the Golden Age, when every body 1s to — @ good Ume, is a long way off. Sa The Sioux Campaign. VIEWS OF GENERAL SHERMAN. Gen. Sherman and the Secretary of War Were before the House Committee on MilLi- tary Affairs yesterday in refereuce to the Senate bill for the increase of the cavalry regiments for operations against the Sioux India: . Sherman said it would be very prudent to provide now for 2,5) men at least, and he could not concelve of a more economical or a better method of doing it than the one proposed by the Senate, which is simply to increase the number of private Soldiers in existing regiments so that each company will consist of 100 men. In reply to @ question, the General said he had not & particle of doubt but that if the Indians will Stick together, Crook alone or Terry alone can behae Di wee re) jointly there is no doubt of it, but Indians may scatter, and probably will, and the mountainous character of the country will facilitate their concealing them selves. They will divide up into small ties, and that will probably necessitate an crease of force ever that which would be necessary to whip them in the ag; they scatter we will have to divide u; detachments, and each detachment is liable to encounter the whole of them if they should assemble again. In the course of further remarks favoring the increase, Gen. Sher- man, referring to the non-combatants and unavailable men, said that in a@ battle you can ovly bring about two thirds of the best organization to the fro™t, and he would chal- lenge any member of the committee to say that he could take 10,000 men and bring 6,000 into line of battle. Concerning the men in the territories who are Sy og as 80 eager to goin and slay the Indians, he said that the army experience is that those men are not 60 good as they profess to be, and are oy good deal better at bragging than ng. uring his statement Gen. Sherman said that Gen. Crook may have got twenty- eight companies of cavalry that will aver- age sixty men. He musi have 1.500 cay- alry and abot 1,6000 infantry. Terry must have 1,600 Infantry, and about 500 or 600 cav airy. He has the whole of the 7th cavairy, waich was reinforced as much as we could and four companies of the 2d. The chairman asked the General “could the army in the Indian country be properly reinforced by the 3,000 men now located in the southern states outside of Texas.” Gen. Sherman replied:—I understand from benne hest authority ne€ maintaining the public peace, &c, Tais isas far as I have a right to go.” Again the general said, when asked if the troops in the south could not be spared, “I am compelled to answer that they cannot bs Spared, because those who are entrusted with ,ower judge their presence there neces sary. That decision is to mesacred and flual, and governs me.” The chairman asked the Secretary of War Wheiber he decired to make any statement to the committee, but the Secretary mereiy replied that be concurred entirely in all (ual Gen. Sherman had said. THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.—The Michi- g8n republican state convention metat Lan- Sivg yesterday, and nominated: For Gover- nor, C. M.
